A coroner’s jury has ruled the death of a man, who inhaled anhydrous ammonia last year, accidental. The jury ruled the man died of a brain injury caused by a lack of oxygen due to chemical burns from inhaling anhydrous ammonia from a ruptured tank. He also had bacterial pneumonia and acute chronic respiratory failure. Authorities say he was traveling with two tanks on December 5th when he lost control of his load and wrecked, causing one of the tanks catastrophically fail while the second one leaked. He crawled out of his truck and into a cloud of anhydrous ammonia and was pulled to safety by a citizen and state trooper. He died about two months after the accident. Here is the original story, remember this was the accident that launched the nurse tank several hundred yards into a field!
